VANE ROTARY ACTUATOR Tol-O-Matic s pneumatic vane rotary actuator offers an unbeatable combination of high torque, compact design, low breakaway and low price. This actuator family has three series of models: the l-inch bore 1810 series, the 1 3 4 -inch bore 1817 series and the l -inch bore 185 series. Together they offer a torque range from a few inch-pounds to as high as 35 inch-pounds. All series are based on a similar design of extruded aluminum housings with integral stators; rotor shafts; Buna-N double-lip vane and stator seal and a unique shaft and end cap design. The double-lip seal design reduces breakaway by providing a tighter seal, resulting in higher efficiency. The seal design also prevents squeegeeing of lubricant from the circumference of the housing. The patented* shaft and end cap seal design eliminates the rubber O-ring commonly used to seal the shaft and the end cap. Instead, the shouldering part of the shaft is slightly longer than the housing. When assembled it causes a thin wall of plastic in the end caps to deflect, creating an air-tight seal which shows no wear after millions of cycles. All Tol-O-Matic vane rotary actuators are permanently pre-lubricated at the factory. The actuators are available in 100 and 80 rotations, with single or double-ended shafts. All bore sizes can be based-mounted with tapped mounting holes provided. Front mounting is also an option on 1-inch and 1 3 4 -inch bore sizes with front mounting flanges, and on 1 -inch bore sizes with tapped front mounting bolts. Optional infinitely adjustable stops are available for the 1817 and 185 Series. *U.S. Patent No. 4817504 EXTRUDED ALUMINUM HOUSING BUNA-N STATOR SEAL INTERNAL BUMPER EXTRUDED INTEGRAL STATOR BUNA-N DOUBLE LIP VANE SEAL PATENTED PLASTIC-TO-METAL SHAFT SEAL ALUMINUM END CAPS STAINLESS-STEEL SHAFT Tol-O-Matic Vane Rotary Actuators Feature: Highest Torque Lowest Breakaway Compact Design Lowest Price Lightest Weight 1

UNIQUE COMPONENTS EXTRUDED HOUSING Black anodized on both the exterior and the internal bore, the housing is made of extruded aluminum with integral stators. Coating the internal bore insures a smooth finish for lower breakaway and extended seal life. Using integral extruded stators eliminates a major leak path common to most vane rotary actuators. DOUBLE LIP SEALS The double-lip rotor seals of Buna-N rubber are molded onto the shaft/vane assembly. This same double-lip concept is used with the stator seal which fits over the integral extruded stators and are held rigidly in place by the end caps. When one lip is pressurized, the other remains relaxed, lowering the breakaway pressure required to move the vane and yet providing an extremely tight seal and improving the actuator's efficiency. UNIQUE SHAFT SEALING Instead of the usual abrasive rubber-to-rubber seal, the Tol-O-Matic vane rotary actuator uses a metal-to-plastic seal. The shouldered portion of the polished, stainless steel shaft is.005 inch longer than the extruded housing. When assembled, the shaft causes a thin, highly polished, plastic insert plate housed in the end cap to deflect slightly (0.005 inch), creating an air-tight seal which has shown no wear after millions of cycles of operation. ROTOR SHAFTS Rotor Shafts are centerless-ground stainless steel. Vanes are made of stamped steel bonded into machined grooves in the rotor shaft. Seals are molded to both the vanes and the rotor shaft ensuring a tight fit. Bumpers are located in the central part of each vane, providing space for air inlet ports. Designed to provide maximum air flow to the vane surface for increased effected area results in lower breakaway. END CAPS Tol-O-Matic Vane Rotary Actuators have end caps with some unique designs. The air ports have a tear-drop shape which make the most of the triangular-shaped air space created by the bumpers. End caps for the vane rotary actuators are made of machined aluminum with a plastic insert plate and Oilite bronze bushings. They are ideal for applications where high strength material is desired.

APPLICATIONS Tol-O-Matic Vane Rotary Actuators offer compact-flexibility and price competitivedurability. Used stand alone or in conjunction with other Tol-O-Matic motion products, the potential of Vane Rotary Actuators are as limitless as your imagination. Illustrated are bending, clamping, repositioning and spraying applications of Tol-O- Matic Vane Rotary Actuators. Other possible uses include: cam indexing, positioning, damper controls, mixing and stirring, escapement feeding, shearing, automatic conveyor stop, dumping, materials handling, conveyor transfer, harmonic motion, lever motion, and valve actuators. Our engineers and sales support teams will be happy to work with you to develop innovative and effective solutions to your most challenging application needs. 3

SELECTION To select a rack and pinion rotary actuator, the following application data is required: Torque required to rotate the load. (Add 5% for safety) Degree of rotation.(100 or 80 standard) Pressure available (PSI). Radial and/or thrust loads. Mounting Style (Standard Base Mount or Front Flange Mount) Single or Double-Ended Shafts Refer to the performance charts to determine the following selection specifications. 1. DETERMINE TORQUE OUTPUT AT AVAILABLE PRESSURE Refer to the Torque vs Pressure chart and choose a rotary actuator based on its torque output at the available operating pressure that will rotate the load. For safety add 5% to your torque requirements. Graphs for each individual model are located on pages 8-10.. DETERMINE ACTUATORS BEARING LOAD CAPACITY Consult the Bearing Load Capacity chart. Bearing loads must not exceed the values shown for radial and/or thrust loading. 3. CALCULATE KINETIC ENERGY IF APPLICABLE Kinetic energy comes into play if the actuator will decelerate the load. In these applications, both torque output to rotate the load and kinetic energy absorption to stop the load must be considered to correctly size a rotary actuator. Once the KE value per stop has been calculated, refer to the Rotary Actuator Kinetic Energy Rating chart and determine if standard adjustable stops with bumpers are adequate or if optional cushions or shock absorbers will be required. How to calculate kinetic energy is shown below. KINETIC ENERGY CALCULATION 1 KE = Jmω angle traveled (deg.) ω = 0. 035 rotation time (sec.) where KE = Kinetic Energy per stop ( in. lbs.) Jm = Rotational mass moment of inertia ( in. lbs sec. ) ω = Peak Velocity ( rad. / sec.) ( assumin g twice average velocity) W = Weight of load ( lbs.) g = Gravitational cons tant = 386. 4 in. / sec. k = Radius of gyration ( in.) MOMENTS OF INERTIA EXAMPLES SLENDER ROD MOUNTED OFF CENTER THIN DISK MOUNTED ON CENTER THIN RECTANGULAR PLATE MOUNTED OFF CENTER a b W 1 W k W k J = m g a b W 1 W c W a W b J = 1 m g + 3 g 3 k POINT LOAD W W a c W W J = m k g J = 1 b c m g 4 + 4 + + 1 g 1 4

4. DETERMINE ASSEMBLY 5. NUMBER Choose from Standard Base Mount or Front Flange Mount. Choose from Single End or Double End Shafts. Refer to the corresponding page in the catalog for the actuator series chosen to select the appropriate assembly number. CONSIDER INFINATELY ADJUSTABLE STOP If an application requires a rotation other than a 100 or 80 rotation, mechanical stops or external shock absorbers are required. Refer to page 11 to determine if optional infinitely adjustable stops will work for your application. Axial or side loading of the actuator shaft is not recommended. Use thrust bearings for axial loads, semi-flexible couplings for side loads, and shock absorbers for higher inertia loads. (Alternately refer to Tol-O-Matic s Gripper & Rack and Pinion Rotary Actuator catalog for applications that require higher radial loads and/or thrust loads.)

ROTARY ACTUATORS RACK AND PINION STYLE Tol-O-Matic s Vane Rotary Actuator offer the highest torque, lowest breakaway, lightest weight and lowest price in a compact design. However, for applications that require direct coupling of the rotary actuator to the load, Tol-O-Matic s Rack and Pinion Rotary Actuator may be the best choice. Tol-O-Matic s Rack and Pinion Rotary Actuators are designed for applications that require higher radial loads and/or thrust loads. Standard stops or optional internal cushions and shock absorbers provide kinetic energy absorption for smoother deceleration. Optional switches may be used with many types of controllers. Tol-O-Matic Rack and Pinion Rotary Actuators offer greater mounting flexibility, utilizing adapter plates to mount to Tol- O- Matic H-Block or U- Block Rod Cylinder Slides. Two types of gripper and rotary actuator combinations are also available for convenient use in pick and place applications. For complete information and performance data consult Tol-O-Matic s Gripper & Rack and Pinion Rotary Actuator catalog (#1900-4000) or call 1-800-38-174 1
